Our third quote for heatpump system is coming. This is the first guy to suggest ductless as well as a central furnace and heatpump. He claimed our ductwork is too small for decent airflow with a heatpump. 😞 We can get zone heating/cooling with a few ductless units in the house. Never thought of that. #Ottawa

“The doctors that we are talking to are embarrassed to say they’re Americans,” said John Philpott, CEO of CanAm Physician Recruiting, which recruits doctors into Canada. “They state that right out of the gate: ‘I have to leave this country. It is not what it used to be.’”https://www.alternet.org/doctors-canada/#CanPoli

We wore N95 masks on our short walk today. It is very bad. What horrified me is other people out without masks. #Ottawa

The real reason libraries are closed down."Some argue that the Internet and the new communications technologies are breaking the corporate stranglehold on journalism and opening an unprecedented era of interactive democratic media. And it is true and important that the Internet has increased the efficiency and scope of individual and group networking. This has enabled people to escape the mainstream media's constraints in many and diverse cases."pg. XV- Chomsky *Manufacturing Consent *"However, although the Internet has been a valuable addition to the communications arsenal of dissidents and protesters, it has limitation as a critical tool. For one thing, those who information needs are most acute are not well served by the Internet - many lack access, its databases are not designed to meet their needs, and the use of databases (and effective use of the Internet in general) presupposes knowledge and organization."pg. XVI- ibid#Fediverse #Libraries #Democracy

@wjmaggos Those that own the media control the propaganda. The large companies do not control the Fediverse and they will likely do anything to kill it.

@foone I remember writing a TSR for an ATARI that would intercept the disk I/O calls to fake the right data returned. 128 byte sector eh? oh boy.

@helenczerski Yes it is a great book! David Graeber also had another book out I spotted on the shelf of one of our independent bookstores you might like as well. "The Ultimate hidden truth of the world" it was a great read as well.

The next time I have someone from a weed control company ring our doorbell, I am going to tell them that unless they can find any weeds that are triffids, we aren't interested.#Ottawa
